PAUL, MINNESOTA 55107 November 27, 1g67 i The Honorable City Council j City of Saint Paul Court House , St. Paul, Minnesota 55102 Dear Mayor Byrne and Gentlemen: You presently have before you for consideration a proposed ordinance, being Council File #235773, which is an amendment to the bingo ordinance. This proposal is an improvement over the original draft, but still leaves many questions unanswered and is discriminatory in its application. For example: 1. The maximum rental chaxge pursuan.t to �+10.08 of the proposed ordina.n.ce is �60.00 per session, but that for good cause shown the Council may, upon recommendation of the License Committee, approve a higher rental. This section attempts to impose rent control with an escape clause that is not f�unded on any recognizable standard other than the words "except for good cause shown". 2. Bingo is restricted to any one location to not more than two sessions per week, with the exception that a religious, charitable or fraternal organization that is non-profit and owning a hall may lease it to other qual- ified organizations up to l�- times per week for bingo. This restriction,as contained in Subdivision 2 in proposed Section �+10.09, would operate against all existing halls where bingo is played more than two times per week, except the Knights of Columbus which, through its North Stas Building Corporation, owns the hall in which it is located. This provision could lead to varying subterfuges to indicate sale of a hall, such as a sale at an inflated price with but a nominal down. payment and terms that would in 'fact amount to rental, or purchases by contract for deed with a ',small down payment and a high pur- _ chase price. A substantial question exists as to whether the requirement that the hall must be owned by a non-profit religious, chaxitable or fra.�ernal organization is not a denial of due process and equal protection of the laws both of which are guaranteed by the State and Federal Constitutions. Many worthy religious, chaxitable and fraternal orga,nizations are presently rent- ing halls which are owned by individuals� or non-qualifying corporations, • and the passage of this ordinance in its� present form will effectively deny them income that they have been receiving in the past from this activity. The Knights of Columbus hall is already booked to the maximum �1�+ ga.mes) as allowable under the proposed ordinance. 3. The proposed ordinance still does not reach the heart of the matter; that is, there is no requirement that a.n.y amount of money be � _ � . . .� - . j y� � . I • -2- � contributed for religious or charitable purposes, and it is this goal that both state and local laws are intended to assist. It is respectfully suggest that Subdivision 2 of proposed Section �+10.09 be amended to read: '�A religious, chaxitable, fraternal, or other association, not organized for pecuniary profit, and duly existing under the laws of the State of Minnesota a.nd owning or leasing szitable premises - may lease or rent such premises for the purpose of playing bingo � � �.", ' and that a new Subdivision 5 be added to read as follows: "Notwithstanding the provisions of Subdivisiors 1: and 2, no organization hereunder shall be re-issued a license to conduct further bingo games unless it has contributed during the preceding • year a sum of not less than 5� of the total money collected in the operation of its bingo games to a religious, chaxitable or ��f�aternal organization, not organized for pecuniaxy profit, and duly existing under the laws of the State of Minnesota." . If the foregoing proposed changes were adopted, the so-called bingo landlord would be elimin.ated, as the owner or prime tenant would have to be a qualifying religious, chaxitable or fraternal organization, an.d secondly, there would be some concrete assuran�;e that a portion of the proceeds would be con- 1� .. . r tributed to a proper cause. ' „ . _" . Section �+10.15 of the proposed ord.inance is excessive in its book- - keeping requirements, paxticularly as to Sections �+, 6 and 7; haviiig im m�d that this section requires all this information to be filed within three days of each game played. Subdivision 5 requiring the names and adc]resses of persons winning prizes of $50.00 or more, is both unnecessary and unreasonable, and would only serve to chase the bingo -players out intb' the su.burbs under a feax of incurring tax obligations, as�they would' be subject to tax on their winnings, but would have no proo�' as to their offsetting losses. , With the foregoing exceptions, the proposed ordinance is a substantial improvement on the existing law, and, as previously stated, is an improvement on the first draft of the ordinance as presented by the Office of the Corporation Counsel. Frankly, many of the organizations on whose behalf I appeared at the initial hearing on this matter are favorably disposed towards the proposal, as they are lessees in the K.C. Ha11 and would be permitted to continue under this draft. However, other organizations who axe renting different halls would be left out and the number of games authorize��d. substa,n.tially reduced. It is submitted that no problems� exist in the field of bingo that proper enforcement of the law could not control. The present license rates for bingo and the number of games being played will bring the City some $70,OOO.QO in revenue. If an added inspector were authorized in the License Inspectorts Office at a cost of less than 10� of the revenues received by the City, abuses could be curbed and the game of bingo be permitted to continue with the ultimate beneficiaries being the religious, chaxitable or fraternal organizations that the l.a,w intended to benefit. � R ectf it ed JED:pr E.
